Specialty Fabrics Review July 2019 - 42
One of Phoenix Design Solutions' largest "clients" was Jabu, a 35-year-old African bull elephant
with an angular limb deformity. The company was asked to create a cover for the leg that would
prevent the constant rubbing from his opposite leg. Photo: Phoenix Design Solutions.
Baby Bella, an orphaned moose from Alaska, was transported
to a Wisconsin zoo to be cared for, not exhibited. She arrived
with a fractured left rear leg. Phoenix Design Solutions was
called upon to provide a means of supporting the leg during
the healing process, devising the Vest and Ehmer sling for the
animal. The sling uses 3mm Breathe-O-Prene UBL/nylon along
with Velcro® hook and loop fasteners. Baby Bella adapted and
healed beautifully. Photo: Phoenix Design Solutions.
CRAFTING CUSTOMIZED CARE
Schön Gross, founder of Phoenix Design
Solutions LLC in Ashburn, Va., created her
first custom bandage for her Rottweiler
suffering from advanced osteoarthritis.
The disease was so severe that Greif
couldn't bend his elbows to lie down but
had to just drop onto her hardwood floors.
He was also unable to go up and down
stairs or take walks. Hoping to improve
his life, Gross designed a pair of doggy
"leggings," which Greif began wearing
24/7. Shortly afterward, Gross noticed the
swelling afflicting the dog's left leg had
significantly diminished, disappearing
completely within a matter of days. Not
long after, Greif was able to manage the
stairs and take walks. He wore the leggings
the rest of his life.
His improvement caught the attention
of veterinarians who began requesting
Gross's bandages, wrappings and covers for
a variety of animals. Her business took off
from there. She has devised solutions for
cats, rabbits, a ferret, horses, pigs, goats,
sheep, llamas and-her largest client-Jabu,
a 35-year-old bull elephant in Botswana.
In addition to leggings, used for arthritis,
wound protection, elbow dysplasia and
other ailments, standard offerings include
vests for medial shoulder instability or
subluxation; carpal supports for carpal/wrist
instability and forelimb deformity; and
tarsal/hock supports for wounds, arthritis
and tarsal/hock instability.
Her multi-species background (gained
by having managed a cattle ranch) and years
spent as a graphic designer have helped her
to produce thousands of custom products.
"Each begins with a unique request and
its solution," says Gross, who often works
with veterinarians. "My products are all
custom-sized for accurate fit. Most are
produced using Polartec® PowerStretch®
RX, Airprene and Breathe-O-Prene® as the
primary textiles. Also, Velcro® hook and
loop fasteners are a must-no plastic parts
for animals to chew or swallow."
